The retailer has paired with Warner Bros. to give customers early access to the film a day ahead of its June release.

Stores will exclusively sell tickets May 18 starting at 8 a.m. in more than 3,700 Walmart locations.

Moviegoers will be able to choose between 2D and 3D screenings and there will be a limit of four tickets per visit.

This appears to be the first time a major studio has partnered with a retailer to sell advance movie tickets.

WalmartHere's what the early passes for "Man of Steel" will look like.

Customers will also receive a code to pre-order a Blu-ray Combo pack or HD Digital download of the film with exclusive content along with a free digital comic book written by "Man of Steel" screenwriter, David S. Goyer.

Screenings will take place June 13 at 7 p.m. at select local theaters.

"Man of Steel" hits theaters the following day at midnight.

So if you want to skip out on a late showing Thursday evening, the Walmart deal may be more appealing.
